What to look forward to

Inside the event

Ship Something That Makes Waves!! Boat Hackathon combines two of SF’s best pastimes Boating & Building!

Code Aboard The Historic Klamath, a gorgeous boat that survived a crash with a submarine in WW2 and hosted Andy Warhol! With possibly the city’s the best coding view, The Historic Klamath is located at Pier 9 just off the Embarcadero

Boat Hackathon begins with the Boat Christening and Kickoff and ends with the invite-only Show Boat Demo Day in the Conference Center of the Klamath where selected teams will demo a room full of boat loving investors and fellow builders

Each project will be provided with this YC batch’s hottest startup Boat.dev for your vm’s & Context.dev for giving agents the internet w one API. The NY Token Exchange & LetsEncrypt.AI will award the grand prize to the best private AI build.

To be eligible to demo you are required to have been accepted as a builder on BoatHackathon.com and ship at least one line of code from aboard ANY boat and post a photo from the boat between Nov 14th & Nov 20th with selections being made on a rolling basis starting Nov 14 at 5pm. In your submission form you will need to share a public link to a photo you posted with #boathackathon / tagging @boathackathon

The Code Aboard Hours on the Historic Klamath Sun Deck & Roof Deck are 9am-5pm the 14th & 16th-20th to help you complete your ship code from a boat requirement

We also have applications for investors to go to the Show Boat demo day, for volunteers and more on BoatHackathon.com
